not quite. OS X is darwin with an advanced version of the OpenStep(*) GUI. solaris is the newer version of SunOS SunOS also included X11 and News windowing systems (internaly the SunOS version is still used, much like mozilla/netscape use an internal mozilla version number) as for redhat/linux we need to define linux. if linux is the kernel, then, yes maybe. but darwin is more than the kernel. OPENSTEP is BSD with the OpenStep GUI :-) GNUstep is the GNU implementation of OpenStep http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?OPENSTEP http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?OpenStep http://www.gnustep.org/information/openstep.html greetings, martin. -- interrested in doing pike programming, sTeam/caudium/pike/roxen training, sTeam/caudium/roxen and/or unix system administration anywhere in the world. -- pike programmer working in europe csl-gmbh.net open-steam.org (www.archlab|(www|db).hb2).tuwien.ac.at unix bahai.or.at iaeste.(tuwien.ac|or).at systemadministrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin B�hr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
